About Me

Elias Vanier

I'm a mechanical engineering student at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) with a passion for building things that work — from concept sketches to production-ready parts. My work sits at the intersection of design, simulation, and hands-on fabrication.

I approach every project with an emphasis on the customer's need, simplicity, and manufacturability. Whether it's a robotic mechanism, a structural assembly, or a consumer product, I care about the details that make the difference.
